Watching strongmen in Budapest taught me about bracing.

They had this old school way of breathing before a heavy lift. I've adapted it over time and it's still my go to for stability. What old form cues do you still swear by?

So how did you actually learn their specific breathing pattern, like was there a visual cue or something?

Honestly I tried to copy it by puffing up my chest like a cartoon character the first time. Ngl I looked ridiculous and still dropped the weight. The real trick was that sharp hiss they make, not just holding air. Took me ages to stop turning purple.
